Benefits of technology

The present patent discloses several embodiments of a vehicle system that can carry a detachable mission platform. These vehicles can be driven over ground by a plurality of wheels and can include a control system to actuate the mission platform based on the type of mission it is designed for. The vehicle system can also include a steering system to allow for better maneuverability in sideways directions. These embodiments provide flexibility in the vehicle system and can allow for different types of missions to be carried and carried out with ease.

Problems solved by technology

However, increasing the variety of vehicles may typically increase the acquisition and / or operational costs of the fleet of vehicles and / or machines.
Additionally, larger agricultural vehicle fleets may be more difficult to store, and transport due to the number of the vehicles / machines.
Furthermore, maintenance operations may have greater consequences and impact when the agricultural vehicles and / or machines are more numerous, affecting parts procurement efficiency and cost, as well as overall time and cost of maintenance.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a vehicle system includes a chassis and a vehicle bed coupled to the chassis, the vehicle bed comprising an attachment system configured to fasten a detachable mission platform onto the vehicle bed. The vehicle system further includes a plurality of wheels coupled to the chassis and configured to carry the chassis over a ground. The vehicle system additionally includes a control system comprising a processor configured to determine a mission type for the detachable mission platform. The processor is additionally configured to communicate with the detachable mission platform to actuate at least one actuator of the detachable mission platform based on the mission type.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority from and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 340,920, entitled “MULTIPURPOSE AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE”, filed May 24, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to vehicles, and more specifically to multipurpose agricultural vehicles.[0003]Increasing productivity of agricultural operations may be achieved by increasing efficiency of the agricultural vehicles and / or other machines involved. Often specialized machines are used for specific tasks, resulting in an increasing variety of vehicles and / or machines. For example, different vehicle designs exist for grain carts, as compared to crop sprayer support vehicles, seeders / planter support vehicles, and the like. However, increasing the variety of vehicles may typically increase the acquisition and / or operational costs of the fleet of vehicles and / or ...
